At last after the wait of over 100 years , taking into account the India's participation during British regime, finally, with the almighty's grace , we have been able to make a mark in GOLD'S medal tally at the olympics. Thanks to the shooter - Abhinav Bindra.
India known for its ancient civilizations , with advanced archery and horse-riding technicalities dating back to vedic age ....it is really a matter of shame that we have been devoid of a single olympics medal . This failure of ours to make a mark at the international sports arena owes to none other than our own society and administrative systems.
On one hand , our society has always been non-suppoertive to the sports , the same had been the case of the Govt. Perhaps, the nation awakes only to the tunes of olympics at an interval of 4 years.
Since, a lot of have already been written about the lack of infrastructure and other loop holes , little attention have been drawn towards the performance of the African and Central American nations at the Olympics- just for an example- Jamaica had always produced Olympics records breaker , not just medal winners - in the Atheletics. Similarly ,Central Asian nations making mark in Gymanastics. And these nation's success cannot be attributed to infrastructure as they lack them more than we. Still, they performs. Hence, the failure cannot be attributed only to the infra.
Lack of proper planning had been one of main root causes of our failure. If we look into the way China has progressed . Taking a leaf out of their success story , we will see that first they focussed into the sports which are low-profile but have bag ful of medals. So, instead of competing in the high profile arenas like athelitics , we can concentrate on something like archery,shooting,weightlifting,boxing etc. Am not asking to neglect other , but , surely we can press a bit harder in thses sections.As once we establish ourselves in the medal tally, we can surely gain confidence for the bigger events.
Aiming for 12 Medals at London-2012 with proper startegy and vision for 20 Golds at Games-2020 won't be a distant dream.
